AVX Corporation has expanded its space-qualified ESCC QPL 3009 series of X7R multilayer ceramic surface mount capacitors with the addition of a new 200V PME MLCC in case sizes from 0805 to 2220. When applying space derating rules, the new MLCC is lightweight, compact, and has a capacitance value range of 330pF to 330nF, which is better than 200V MIL-PRF stacked ceramic capacitors and 100V MIL-PRF surface mount products in 100V circuits. Meaningful performance improvement. This provides engineers with an effective, high-reliability solution that is ideal for use in challenging space and defense applications, including satellite communications, space launchers, and input / output filtering lines for space power.
After ESCC's strict 3009 standard test, this standard is widely used in global aerospace projects. The ESCC QPL 3009 PME series now offers high reliability in a rated voltage of 25 to 200V, a capacitance value of 4.7pF to 2.2µF and a voltage range of 0805. Performance-2220 cases with ESA variants 03, 06 and 07 terminations, depending on the dielectric.
"Before adopting the 100V derating rule, our new 200V ESCC QPL 3009 PME MLCC provides higher performance for space and military engineers compared to 200V MIL-PRF laminated ceramic capacitors and 100V surface mount capacitors, resulting in "Obvious size and weight advantages."
